Book Synopsis
Personal pictures and ephemera capture the experimental spirit of the Italian Futurist movement and its photographers
The Italian Futurist movement, which spanned approximately 1909 to 1944, is perhaps most recognized for its paintings, but Italian photographers of the time also captured the realities and emotions of a rapidly industrializing 20th century. They experimented with photomontage, multiple exposures, layering negatives and "photodynamism." At nearly 500 pages with 650 duotone images, this "album of the Futurist family" is the ultimate collection of photographs and ephemera relating to Italian Futurist artists. It includes photographs both by and of the figures most closely associated with Futurism, including its founder, Filippo Marinetti, as well as candid images of their relatives, friends, travels and more. Following this extensive photographic section is a collection of reproductions of original, rare Futurist publications, catalogs, posters, books and magazines.
Photographers include: Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Arturo Bragaglia, Rolando Bravi, Mario Castagneri, Elio Luxardo, Alberto Montacchini, Silvio Ottolenghi, Angelo Rognoni, Tato, Trisno, Luigi Vaghi.
